About
The special education degree prepares students for the Exceptional Child Generalist K-12 endorsement as well as the Special Education Praxis II exam.
This endorsement must be taken in conjunction with an elementary or secondary education program. Obtaining the Exceptional Child Generalist endorsement enables a special education teacher to work with students with special and individual needs in grades K-12 in a resource program or through inclusion in a regular classroom.
Teacher candidates must complete a major endorsement in either elementary education (all subjects grades K-8) or secondary education (specific content area grades 6-12). For endorsement, students must also pass the Praxis II exam #5543-Special Education: Core Knowledge and Mild to Moderate Application.
The early childhood special education minor prepares generalists and not specialists in any one area. Students will complete a six-credit internship along with 14 other credits to earn the minor.
